NFL Moves Bills-Patriots Game to 4:25 PM

The NFL has made significant schedule changes for Week 16, notably flexing the matchup between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots to a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS. This adjustment comes after the Bills' recent successes, as they aim to solidify their playoff position, currently holding the AFC's No. 2 seed. The game between the Browns and Bengals has also been flexed to CBS, marking a historic moment with three network switches. Despite their struggles, the Patriots are spotlighting rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who has shown promise this season. The league is expected to finalize the date and time for the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Bills in Week 18 after Week 17 concludes. These changes highlight the NFL's adaptability and the ongoing excitement surrounding the playoff race.
